Christmas Card

The A-team and their husbands

I'm getting caught up with technology a bit for our Christmas card this year and am doing it electronically (really saving the postage money to buy presents for the grandkids).



Isabell( 5 months), Peyton (18 months,) & Madison (7.5 months)


What a year it was!

Jan- We started the year with Erica and Nate living with us for Nate had recently started a new career in the sheet metal field, by the time the month was over Tressa, Jesse and Peyton were living here as Jesse changed jobs to work as an accountant at Cenex in Chehalis. Erica and Nate were in the process of moving down to Kelso where Nate worked at.

Before the school year would be over our family grew. Erica had her first baby Madison born in March. Melia and Spencer were married in May. Isabell came in June to bring the grandkids total to three. The second round of the babies are on their way now with both Tressa and Erica expecting this summer. The girls have always been close so its no surprise that they are having their children close to together.

Isabell 1 week old


Isabell 5 1/2 months

Our house is full of love, excitement, chaos and people with three married couples here plus two little ones. Erica works at the school district this year so drops Madison off in the morning and all three of them are looked after by Tressa with Dee Dee helping when she is not at work.

Our little man in the family Peyton is 19 months and continues to get older and wiser(???).

Dee Dee is still working at the HS as the yearbook advisor which is complicated abit by her babysitting duties.

She continues her main job taking photos for NSP and traveling around the state doing it. She is at the top so gets to do a lot of the High School State tournament action work which she enjoys the most. I worked for them in the summer and some weekends and even got to be an action photographer for them this summer.

Alesha at BYU

Alesha is the only one not at the house much as she is down in Provo, Utah attending BYU. She is taking a heavy load all this school year as she will be doing an internship next year for her final year in school. In their program you actually have a class of your own for the year and get paid a half salary. She is excited about making money instead of paying it out for school (so am I)!

Dee Dee and I managed to break away for a couple of days and went up to the San Juan Islands for our 25th anniversary. Other than the occassional weekend away for NSP work we love being home and having the kids and grandkids around for their is nothing like the smile and laughing of little kids. We have been blessed by this wonderful opportunity and our loving it.
